Amniotic fluid from 207 women in labor was analysed at the time of artificial rupture of membranes or by amniocentesis. The following organisms were identified in concentrations of more than 1 000/ml: Staphylococcus aureus (1), Propionibacterium (1), E. coli (1), group B Streptococci (3), Lactobacilli (16). The 6 patient-carriers of pathogens became infected as did 4 of their babies. Leukocyte counts and LDH levels performed on amniotic fluid did not correlate with the appearance of symptoms of infection. Quantitative bacteriology of amniotic fluid seems to be of value in identifying patients at high risk of developing endometritis and/or neonatal sepsis.
在人工破膜时或通过羊膜腔穿刺术对207名临产妇女的羊水进行了分析。发现下列微生物浓度超过1000/ml：金黄色葡萄球菌（1例）、丙酸杆菌（1例）、大肠杆菌（1例）、B族链球菌（3例）、乳酸杆菌（16例）。6例病原体携带者患者发生了感染，其4名婴儿也受到感染。对羊水进行的白细胞计数和乳酸脱氢酶水平与感染症状的出现无关。羊水定量细菌学在识别发生子宫内膜炎和/或新生儿败血症高危患者方面似乎有价值。
